Flyworks AI Lipsync MCP server for AI agents

Flyworks MCP provides a convenient interface for creating lipsynced videos using digital avatars. It connects to the Flyworks API to generate lipsync animations for a variety of avatar styles, including realistic and cartoon characters, by combining video footage with audio input.

Installation Requirements

Python 3.8 or later
Required Python packages: httpx and mcp[cli]

Installing the Server

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/flyworks-mcp.git
cd flyworks-mcp

Install the necessary dependencies:
```
pip install httpx "mcp[cli]>=1.6.0"
```
Alternatively, you can use uv:
```
uv pip install httpx "mcp[cli]>=1.6.0"
```
To prevent timeout issues during server startup, consider pre-installing all required packages:
```
pip install pygments pydantic-core httpx "mcp[cli]>=1.6.0"
```

Configuration

Set your Flyworks API token as an environment variable before running the server:

# Linux/macOS
export FLYWORKS_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

# Windows (Command Prompt)
set FLYWORKS_API_TOKEN=your_token_here

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:FLYWORKS_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

You can also create a .env file with your token.

Note: A free trial token 2aeda3bcefac46a3 is available with limited daily quota. Free trial videos will be watermarked and limited to 45 seconds. For full access, contact [email protected].

Running the Server

Start the server with:

python server.py

Integration with MCP Clients

Integration with Claude Desktop

Install the server using the MCP tool:
```
mcp install /path/to/server.py
```

Edit the Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flyworks": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "FLYWORKS_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Integration with Cursor

Add to Cursor's MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flyworks": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "FLYWORKS_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using the MCP Tools

Creating a Lipsync Video

Use the create_lipsync_video tool to generate a lipsynced video by providing:

video_url: URL to your avatar video (mp4, mov formats)
audio_url: URL to your audio file (mp3, m4a, wav formats)

The tool returns a job_id that you can use to check the status of the processing job.

Checking Job Status

After submitting a lipsync job, use the inspect_job_status tool with the job_id to monitor progress and retrieve the final video:

Status codes: 1=Waiting, 2=Processing, 3=Completed, 4=Failed
When completed (status=3), a video_Url will be provided to download the generated video

Important: The video URL is temporary, so download your video promptly after completion.

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "flyworks" '{"command":"python","args":["/path/to/server.py"],"env":{"FLYWORKS_API_TOKEN":"your_api_token_here"}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "flyworks": {
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "/path/to/server.py"
            ],
            "env": {
                "FLYWORKS_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "flyworks": {
            "command": "python",
            "args": [
                "/path/to/server.py"
            ],
            "env": {
                "FLYWORKS_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
